In this study, sewer backfill material was developed to prevent sewer damage and ground subsidence. Laboratory test was performed in the field of CA replacement ratio, accelerator type and replacement ratio and W/M. The compression strength of backfill material was 0.55~0.64MPa below in W/M 70% and 0.20MPa over W/B 80%. Ice block was used to simulate the ground cavity and subsidence caused by sewer damage in application study. The existing sand compaction and the new backfill material was comparative estimated in field. The ground settlement of cross section was 23.4cm and that of longitudinal section was 27cm in sand compaction section, but the ground had not sunk in backfill material section.

This study is to improve the efficiency of BTL (Build Transfer Lease) project operation by comparing the infiltration rate based on the data of 5 years of infiltration of the separate sewer system and combined sewer system. In the survey site, the separate sewer system area consists of eight flowmeters in seven treatment basins, and the combined sewer system area consists of eight flowmeters in five treatment basins. The infillration rate was analyzed by night-time domestic flow evaluation method, and the average infiltration rates of the separate sewer system and combined sewer system were 13% and 16%, respectively. Combined sewer system was about 1.3 times higher than the separate sewer system. The average BOD of separate sewer system was 233 mg/L, which was about 2.4 times higher than the combined sewer system was 107 mg/L. In the comparison of the average pipe diameter-length infiltration of separate sewer system and combined sewer system, the separate sewer system and the combined sewer system were about 0.150 ㎥/d/mm/km and about 0.109 ㎥/d/mm/km, respectively. The floating population in mixed residential and commercial areas has been identified as the cause. Therefore, we propose a method to calculate the infiltration rate in consideration of the margin ratio in the area where the night active population is concentrated.

Sewer condition assessment involves the determination of defective points and status of aged sewers by a CCTV inspection according to the standard manual. Therefore, it is important to establish a reliable and effective standard manual for identifying the sewer defect. In this study, analytic reviews of the CCTV inspection manuals of the UK, New Zealand, Canada and South Korea were performed in order to compare the defect codes and the protocols of condition assessment. Through this, we also established the standardized method for defect code and revised the calculation method of assigning the condition grade. Analyses of the types and frequencies of sewer defects that obtained by CCTV inspection of 7000 case results, showed that the joint defect and lateral defect were the most frequent defects that occurred in Korea. Some defect codes are found to be modified because those did not occur at all. This study includes a proposed new sewer defect codes based on sewer characteristics.

최근 빈번하게 발생하고 있는 국지성 집중호우로 인한 해안 도시지역의 내수침수 원인 및 면적을 XP-SWMM 모형을 이용하여 분석하였다. 이 연구의 대상은 해안과 인접한 지역이며, 유역의 면적은 $2.74km^2$이고 관로의 총연장은 11.20km이다. 대상지역을 32개의 소유역과 67개의 하수관로로 XP-SWMM 모형의 입력자료를 구축하였다. 대상유역에 대한 강우분석을 수행하여 2년, 5년, 10년, 20년, 30년, 50년 빈도의 강우량을 결정하였으며, 각 빈도의 강우사상에 대하여 조위조건을 반영한 침수해석을 수행하였다. 우수관거시스템과 연계된 TUFLOW 흐름모형을 이용하여 침수범람지역을 모의하였다. 모의 결과 모든 빈도에 대하여 내수침수 현상이 발생하는 것으로 나타났으며, 빈도별로 최대침수심은 0.485~0.673m, 침수면적은 $88,600{\sim}230,700m^2$로 예측되었다. 대상유역의 침수발생 양상은 하수관로의 유량이 맨홀을 통해 지표면으로 분출되는 현상이 발생하며, 이 지역의 하류로 침수범위가 확대되는 것으로 나타났다. 이런 현상은 상류에 위치한 소유역의 우수 유출량을 집수하는 집수정의 용량과 하류로 유하시키는 우수관로의 통수단면이 부족한 것을 주요 원인으로 생각할 수 있다.

This study investigated the construction and operation status of sewer pipes and water-purifier tanks near densely populated areas like large apartment complexes, in order to find out cause for offensive orders. The study results revealed that the main cause arose from the water-purifier tank and public sewer pipes near ordinary residential areas. First, in case of independent water-purifier tanks, the air is forced into the rotten part of large tanks nearby which should be operated in an anaerobic state, so that the tank changes into an aerobic state, or dirty water, which is returned during the sludge return process, falls on the top of the rotten tank, preventing scum from forming within the tank. Such problems cause incompletely purified water in the purifier tank to be discharged, which in turn results in filthy water. Second, in case of public sewer pipes, deteriorated or aging pipes, or the mixture of rain water and dirty water by mixing up combined and separated sewers system can cause foul odors in residential areas. Therefore, offensive odors in residential areas can be radically reduced through the appropriate construction and management of facilities including water-purifier tanks. As well, if more separate sewers are installed as part of an improvement project for public sewer pipes, complaints about foul smell can be minimized.

In recent years, the increasing trend of ground subsidence in major cities has caused social problems. Aged sewer pipeline as a main attribute for the subsidence is simply replaced and maintained according to a survey result with related to its buried period. However, other attributes and risk analysis for the subsidence have not been well studied yet. In this point, this study proposed various environmental and structural attributes with related to sewer pipelines and, then, a method of ground subsidence risk evaluation with a certain level of reliability. In order to find effective attributes to ground subsidence near to sewer, the nearest sewerage data were extracted at the location of subsidence in the City of Seoul, and a level of correlation was analyzed between subsidence and individual attribute. The effective weight factors for the proposed attributes was estimated through AHP analysis and its applicability was verified by comparing the actual subsidence data to the risk evaluation in the pilot study district of Seoul.

The water and sewage system is an infrastructure that provides safe and clean water to people. In particular, since the water and sewage pipelines are buried underground, it is very difficult to detect system defects. For this reason, the diagnosis of pipelines is limited to post-defect detection, such as system diagnosis based on the images taken after taking pictures and videos with cameras and drones inside the pipelines. Therefore, real-time detection technology of pipelines is required. Recently, pipeline diagnosis technology using advanced equipment and artificial intelligence techniques is being developed, but AI-based defect detection technology requires a variety of learning data because the types and numbers of defect data affect the detection performance. Therefore, in this study, various defect scenarios are implemented using 3D printing model to improve the detection performance when detecting defects in pipelines. Afterwards, the collected images are performed to pre-processing such as classification according to the degree of risk and labeling of objects, and real-time defect detection is performed. The proposed technique can provide real-time feedback in the pipeline defect detection process, and it would be minimizing the possibility of missing diagnoses and improve the existing water and sewerage pipe diagnosis processing capability.

In this study, the characteristics of water quality change of the three streams in Daejeon were analyzed according to the expanded installation of interceptors and wastewater treatment plant (WTP). Gabcheon 5 (Singu Bridge) location showed the maximum difference of the highest and lowest concentrations in the last decade. However, the recent water quality of this location was worse than other locations, because of the impact of the effluent from the WTP. In the upstream of the WTP, the Daejeon stream was relatively better than the other locations in organic pollution reduction, and this was caused by the investment for the management of the interceptors in three streams of Daejeon. According to the water quality standard of the stream water quality, the recent water quality of the three streams in Daejeon was acceptable within them in the most of the water quality items, but because the total phosphorus concentration of the upstream such as Daejeon stream, Yudeng stream, Gabchen 3 location did not reach the standard values, a better management of the interceptor was required in the upstream of WTP than its downstream. The upstream of WTP also required a better management of the interceptor than the downstream. The operation and management of WTP was required a high efficiency because the water quality of the effluent from the WTP incurred an adverse effect to the target water quality in the location of the total water pollution load management system.

최근 전 세계가 극단적 집중호우로 인한 대규모 홍수로 인해 극심한 몸살을 앓고 있다. 특히, 설계빈도를 초과하는 강우로 인해 도시지역에서 발생하는 도시침수는 그 특성상 막대한 인명과 재산상의 피해를 유발하므로 이를 사전에 예방하고 피해를 줄이기 위한 노력이 매우 시급한 실정이다. 도시유역 침수 해석을 위한 수치모의는 대상 유역의 현재 대비 상황을 판단할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 하수관로 증설 효과 파악, 빗물저류조의 침수저감 효과 분석, 빗물배수펌프장의 적정용량 파악 등에 매우 효율적이다. 정확도 높은 도시침수 해석을 위해서는 고해상도 DEM 또는 DSM 지형자료뿐만 아니라 토지이용도 및 지하에 매설되어 있는 하수관망(하수관로, 맨홀, 배수펌프장 등) 자료의 활용이 필수적이다. 그러나 저개발 국가나 미계측유역의 경우에는 신뢰도 높은 하수관망 자료를 얻기가 매우 어려울 뿐만 아니라 해당 자료가 존재하지 않는 경우도 빈번해 도시침수 해석이 곤란한 경우가 다수 발생한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 GIS 형태로 제공되는 Open Street Map(OSM)의 도로망 정보를 이용해 가상의 하수관망을 생성하는 방법론을 제시하고 서울시 사당유역을 미계측유역으로 가정해 가상의 하수관망을 생성해 그 적용성을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 결과는 하수관망 자료의 획득이 곤란한 지역의 도시침수 예측이나 효과적인 하수관망 설계에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
